Overview
Looking for adventure? Fort Famelon opens its doors to its hidden secrets in the mountains. An underground exploration to learn more about the history of the Swiss army with a beautiful view of the whole region.
Located 400m below the top of the Tour de Famelon, this WWII military fort has approximately 300m of corridors and 400m2 of rooms on 3 floors.
The lower floor houses all the facilities for the troops - dormitory, refectory, toilets and 4 combat rooms. The second and third floors are accessible via metal ladders (equipped with a safety line) which lead to a radio room, an emergency hatch and several observation posts - the view over the whole area is breathtaking!
Visiting this secret fort is a real experience and an ideal place for a great adventure.
